Jean Carlos Chera (born 12 May 1995), known as Jean Chera or simply Chera, is a Brazilian footballer who plays as a attacking midfielder who plays for São Bernardo Ec.

Club career[edit]

Born in Vera, Mato Grosso, Chera joined Santos' youth setup in 2005, aged ten, after impressing while playing for ADAP. He was considered one of the club's brightest youth prospects,[1] but left the club on 25 March 2011, after rejecting offers of renewal and with his father having altercations with the team's board.[2]

Two months after leaving Peixe, Chera signed a three-year deal with Serie A club Genoa, being assigned to the Primavera squad.[3] However, he returned to Brazil in November, and joined Flamengo.[4]

Chera rescinded with Fla in December 2012,[5] and moved to fellow league team Atlético Paranaense in February of the following year.[6] He was released in August 2013,[7] and signed for Cruzeiro in the following month;[8] he was also shown the door by the latter in December 2013.[9]

On 28 January 2014 Chera signed a professional deal with Oeste,[10] being released on 28 March, after his side was relegated from Campeonato Paulista.[11] On 19 June he agreed a contract with CS Universitatea Craiova,[12] but was released just ten days later.[13]

In July 2014 Chera switched teams and countries again, joining Greek Football League side Paniliakos. He finally made his professional debut on 17 October, coming on as a second half substitute in a 0–2 home loss against Panegialios.[14]

In November Chera moved to Spanish Tercera División's SD Buelna,[15] but returned to his home country in January 2015, signing for Cuiabá.[16] On 21 May he was released, after appearing in only two state league matches (41 minutes of action).[17]

On 30 July 2015 Chera returned to Santos, signing a four-month deal and being initially assigned to the under-23s.[18] On 29 December he was loaned to Vitória das Tabocas,[19] but it the loan did not materialize shortly after.

On 3 February 2016 Chera was loaned to Portuguesa Santista, along with another 13 Santos players, after a partnership between both clubs was established.[20]

On 18 July 2016, Chera announced his retirement from professional football at the age of 21, returning to his hometown with his family and his girlfriend, 8-month pregnant at the date.[21] The following day, however, he stated that he would return after his child's birth.[22] His contract with Santos was rescinded on 26 July.[23]

On 22 November 2016, Chera stepped out of retirement and signed for Sinop ahead of the following season.[24] He terminated his contract with the club the following September, after being rarely used.

Chera retired for the 2018 season.
